Turffontein Race 9 - Www.tab4racing.com Novice Handicap

BAKWENA (1) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Key runner while fresh. DRIVELIKEAMASTER (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at Turffontein Inside a month ago. Promising type who can measure up again. BIG BOY BRUCE (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m at Vaal, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to bounce back to form. FAR REACHING (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Capable in this line-up of featuring prominently.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Most recently second last of 10 at this track on October 26 over 1600m, 14 len behind Heather's Boy carrying 57.5kg at $67. Before that 5th of 7 at Turffontein Inside on September 21 over 1200m, 5 len behind Nettleton carrying 56.5kg at $13.50. Win doesn't look likely.
